HK: If you're really in need of a good cry, why not stop in at James' Sulking Corner and Gormet Coffee Shop! All the best of weeping and caffeinated beverages with names that no normal human can pronounce!

I don't get sick as often as I used to. I would always get a cold or flu every year. Now I seem to get sick every three years. I think it is my solitary lifestyle. Everyone I know who gets sick are usually around a lot of other people or are part of a large family. I worked with a guy who's wife was a school teacher and she brought home colds and the flu all the time.

I whine when I'm sick. I hate it. Sore throat, nose running and head aches. If you are sick stay away from me because I don't want it.

I got a watercooler story.

I nearly killed myself a few weeks ago. My alarm clock started making a funny noise in the middle of the night a woke me up. This is not an unusual occurence. It has done this before. I just turn over and smack the thing with my hand a couple of times and it stops. Well as I turned around I got tangled in my bedspread and fell out of bed. Banged my elbow and got a nasty carpet burn on it. After some cursing and finally untangling myself from the bedding I got the alarm clock quite and started to straighten my bedding. I stood up in the bed and was going to give my bedspread a good shake to get it straightened out. Well I did not realize I was standing on it. Expecting the bedspread to fly out in front of me and get flat I ended up pulling my feet out from under me. So for the second time in five minutes I found myself spinning to the floor. This time I landed on my knee. I gave up after much more cursing and crawled into bed and pulled the covers over me the best I could and waited for the pain in my elbow and knee to to stop throbing and finally got back to sleep.

So who has nearly killed themselves while in bed or in some other device considered secure from such dangers?

Come on. I bet there are are others who have done the impossible.

Thanks for the offer. Is there a dark, secret, anti-social corner I could hide in? If not, I'll just stick to kicking the crap out of my Jeep and sulking in a hot bath. Caffeine doesn't affect me anymore. My metabolism / chemistry seems to have become acclimated to that particular chemical. Happens a lot, actually. Which is kinda neat, but sometimes not. Why'm I rambing? Dunno. Moving on now...

*giggles... politely...* It's good that you didn't die.

I can't think of a similar experience. If I recollect correctly, the {few} times I nearly killed myself, it's onnaconna* dangers.

* 'onnaconna' = Wisconsinese for 'on account of'

Well hello everyone! So this is the Imponderables thread. I was told to come over here a while back, but I haven't been on in a while.

So death by bedsheets or some sort of bed-type near death experience, eh? I once tucked my sheets in way too tight and then went to get up the next day. My foot was still stuck in the tightly tucked sheet I fell forward and smacked my head on my bed stand. Then I went to stand and free my foot and I just lost my balance and slammed backwards right on the floor. It was quite a nasty injury. So other people have the same problem. Good to know. Lol!

"Good. Bad. I'm the guy with the gun."

I knew I was not alone. Beds lurk in corners waiting for me.

EDIT: Hell's Kitten. You speak better Wisconsinese than I do. And I have lived in Mawaukee for 40 years.

Traveler,

What a funny story. I'm sure I've stubbed my toe in the dark, but nothing quite like your experience. It's amazing that you were able to get back to sleep.

Welcome to the Imponderables, AbandonedCorsair.

Hi, HK. Don't kick the Jeep too hard. We don't want you to break any toes.

Penguin, I hope that YinYang sees that you took out the white background. You even made the eyes move. You are one talented Penguin.

Hello VerseExplorer:

It is time to go to bed. Dare I! But I wanted to say HI before I went to sleep.

As for my bedtime story, I think God just likes to let me know who is in charge and it ain't me.
